Veggie flatbread pizza is a versatile and fun dish to make for just about any occasion. Great for lunch, dinner and works especially well for a party as an hors-d'oeuvre or appetizer.
Easy Veggie Flatbread Pizza
Recently I made two different veggie or meatless flatbreads.
This Lavash flatbread from Trader Joes was perfect, however most grocery stores sell some type of lavash or flatbread, and you can use any of them for this dish.
Both were made with a garlic infused olive oil as the base. This one was then topped with goat cheese.
Followed by fresh arugula, and a drizzle of fig balsamic vinegar. I love the creaminess of the cheese combined with the freshness and spicy flavor of the arugula. The fig balsamic vinegar tops it off with a sweet and tart finish.
Since my hubby is not a fan of arugula, and really not a big fan of goat cheese, I made him a mushroom and caramelized onion flatbread.
This time I used a delicious Italian Fontina cheese which has a great nutty mild and creamy flavor.
This flatbread is a good one to cut up into thin slices and serve as an appetizer since the ingredients are all nicely contained, as opposed to the arugula flatbread which would be a little messier to cut up.
Either way, if you like these ingredients you will love this easy and adaptable veggie flatbread pizza recipe for lunch, dinner or as a fun hors-d'oeuvre.
